Camco Mfg 20173 45-degree Brass Hose Valve

Product Description

The CAMCO MFG 20173 is a 45-degree angled brass hose valve designed for fresh water flow control in outdoor and utility applications. The 45-degree body angle reduces hose strain at the connection point and allows easier hand access in tight or low-clearance spigot locations. Constructed from brass, the valve offers corrosion resistance and durability suited to repeated outdoor use. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and general contractors use this valve where a standard straight hose bib would create awkward hose routing or excessive bend stress.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial fresh water service lines. Typical installations include exterior hose bibs, irrigation manifold connections, pressure washing setups, and outdoor utility stations where hose routing benefits from the angled fitting geometry. The unit is sold in a package quantity of six, making it a practical stocking item for service trucks or supply rooms handling multiple small plumbing jobs.
